It's been a very difficult year. Although I have remembered Myra and Nigel every day, it seems especially real today, one year later. There are so many years of memories which offer some comfort. I share my love for them with friends and family, and will never forget. They will always hold a special place in my heart, as will Sarah, Jen and the families. Remembering with love.

A fantastic, dynamic art educator is the Myra I have known. Her work in the field exemplifies a quality at the national level.

She has left me with a thousand moments that will live with me forever. I can see her smile, energy and focus everytime I think of her.

Please know her family, fellow educators, friends and students are in my prayers.

I first met Myra on one of her trips to England to see Nigel before they were married. Over the years we probably met about a dozen times and we had lots of very in-depth conversations about life in the US and the UK, children, teaching, art and a whole host of other subjects. You could always rely on Myra for an interesting conversation with lots of knowledge and you knew she was usually right in her opinions. She was extremely shrewd and serious but that sense of hunour was always lurking just beneath the surface. Every now and then a razor sharp witticism would pop out, or an observation on a situation or a person. She had a wonderful smile which illuminated her whole face and you just had to smile back when she did it. She was deeply dedicated to her job and I was lucky enough to go along to her school with her last summer when she went for one of her early morning workouts in the gym. She was so proud of her association with the school. Nigel was a lucky man but then he knew that from the moment her met her. Myra, thanks for your friendship and I for one will miss you greatly.

We are deeply saddened and send our sympathy to Jen, Sarah and members of the Goldberg and Plumridge families. We will always remember Myra's kindness and will miss our smart, dear, fun-loving neighbor. To know Myra even casually was to know how much her joy was centered in her love for Sarah and Jen. May her love continue to shine in your hearts.

Sincerely, your neighbors

Where to begin is such a hard question to answer...mrs.plumridge was a wonderful person. knowing her from attending srpingfield township school made not only the learning experience fun, but she was alway more of a "friend". Later finding out that she came to the salon where i work, we bonded anc chated about hair color and everything else. Her daughter jen is like the little sister i never had, and we always talked about hair and fun "girl" things. Myra is and always will be a person someone can never forget. She always had such a cheerful attitude and made the work day so much nicer. My condolences go out to the entire family and to let them know we are always here for them if they need us. we miss you myra

I worked at Cheltenham High School and knew Myra as an art student, an avid swimmer, on the swim team, and a great person! I remember her helping my son with his "bar-mitzvah" (arts & craft) project. What patience she had! She told me about her Israel trips, year of study abroad and of course Nigel. How they both loved each other and Sarah & Jennifer! Myra and Nigel both will be sorely missed!

I remember Myra as the older sister to my friend Larry and her filling that role as one might expect. As a busy teenager she had her own priorities, but I saw in her a very proud and protective sister watching over Larry’s friends and accomplishments. She was sweet and funny – and endured the foolishness of Larry’s friends with a certain aplomb. I remember her smile and her curls. And how she reminded me of her mom.

Later when she married Nigel, the young couple seemed so in tune with one another. Very supportive and optimistic right from the start. Nigel was a friendly chap, and I felt Larry saw him as much as a brother as a brother-in-law. He seemed to have a great balance of intellect and sly humor.

They will be sorely missed and our love and support go out to the families.

I met my dear friend, Myra, 27 years ago while attending the Tyler School of Art in Rome,Italy. Her inquisitive spirit made her a joy to befriend. Our travels together in Europe are etched in my mind and soul. During a spring journey across the Thames I met Nigel, a prince among men. Myra and Nigel's transatlantic romance was magical.Each milestone in their life together:wedding,births and bat mitzvahs was a joy and honor to share. I will miss Myra as a friend and as a fellow artist.

To her former and present students I am confident she leaves behind a love of creation. To her parents, siblings, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and friends she leaves behind her masterpieces: Sarah and Jenn. Cherish them well.

To her beautiful daughters, know this: Your mother's love and guidance are with you always. Reach for those gifts whenever you need her.

May time, family and friends bring you peace,

As a kid, Myra was full of warmth, kindness and good humor. Traits that she carried into her adult life. Deepest sympathy to the entire family. My thougths are with you.

I have so much to say about Myra.She was one of my oldest friends, having been together since our early teens at Cyrus Adler Hebrew High and Gratz College. We spent our teen years and early twenties together. She was a caring, very intelligent, loyal friend. She took her artwork seriously and it was a joy to see her works. She was well-versed on so many topics, and it was great to hear the extent of her knowledge.I liked listening to her and learned alot. A born teacher!!! I marveled, as did her Nigel, at her poise and self-confidence. Myra confessed to me once that one of the things that Nigel had told her that attracted him to her was that self-assuredness. I never heard her question her abilities. It was astounding, when I think back on it, that a teenager could be that self-confident. I'll bet she was a fantastic role model for Sarah and Jennifer. Myra, of course, also had her abundant goofy and silly side. Loved to laugh. I still remember her face, which reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker's, actually. She had a great grin and when she would giggle it was kinda quiet, yet squeaky at the same time. Her eyes would sparkle, and the skin surrounding them would crinkle with mirth. when she laughed, her whole face took part. And she had wonderful curly hair. She was one of the only people who could drive stick shift and would think nothing of road-tripping with us to NY, or the shore, or downtown... She was a quiet and gentle sensitive person. While she had her sibling rows, she did love Larry and Betsy, and was so proud of her mother's teaching and Holocaust involvement. She thought her dad was so cool, esp. in the humor and car department. Life with Myra was full of simple pleasures and joy. Although i haven't lived in the Phila. area for many years, she holds a huge part of my heart in her soul. She will be missed and very, very fondly remembered by all who loved her.

Myra was a wonderful person and teacher who quietly inspired her students with her positive and caring attitude toward their work and toward them. She touched many and will be greatly missed. Our family sends Love and Strength to the Plumridge family at this difficult time of life.

As a former student of Mrs.Plumridge's in the 2002-2003 school year as a fifth grader, I was deeply saddened to hear that she had passed away. I will always remember her for not only her awesome red hair, but her creativity and her devotion to her teaching career.

I don't know what to say, except that Myra was one of my oldest friends = for over 37 years we have had a beautiful friendship both closely and across the miles. She has been such a loyal friend - We have never lost touch and I have always been close with the family as well. I can't imagine the loss of such a good and creative and loyal friend, who I loved.
